The West negotiating with Russia from a position of 'superior' will have no prospects
(Baonghean.vn) - Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said that the dialogue between the West and Russia starting from the position of imposing sanctions will not have any prospects. At the same time, Mr. Antonov affirmed that sooner or later, a peace agreement will be reached between Russia and Ukraine.
According to RT news agency on February 21, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said in an article in Newsweek magazine that a dialogue between the West and Russia starting from a position of strength to impose sanctions will have no prospects.
According to Ambassador Antonov, Washington's belief in long-term "global dominance" only leads to the opposite effect.
“The sooner the US realizes this, the sooner the world will have a chance to return to the path of stable, sustainable and predictable development,” the Russian diplomat said.
Ambassador Antonov affirmed that Russia will not refuse dialogue to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, sooner or later peace agreements on Ukraine will be reached.
“We are determined that sooner or later peace agreements will be reached, despite the efforts of the guarantors of the Kiev government,” Mr. Antonov said.
Earlier, President Vladimir Putin stressed, "Our goal is not to accelerate the military conflict, but on the contrary, to end the current war." Russia, even after using military measures in Ukraine, is still trying to end the conflict in Ukraine peacefully. Leader Putin affirmed that sooner or later, Russia and Ukraine will reach an agreement.
The conflict in Ukraine has lasted for two years. Since then, many rounds of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have taken place but have not achieved any breakthrough and are currently in a state of stagnation./.
